Hi manners ,
There are two main options you can choose in this scenario:
- Publish to Web: Allows you to share a report with people outside of Power BI. This provides an embed code that can be used to put into a blog post or website. This is just an iframe. Using this option provides no authentication to the report. Whoever has the URL can see the report. Be very careful about what data you share using this option. Reference: Publish from Power BI to the web
- Power BI Embedded: It is an Azure service that is a great option for ISVs and/or 3rd parties that want to include Power BI within their custom application. This allows for isolated workspaces and custom authentication handled by the application. Reference: Power BI Embedded documentation and GitHub Sample Repo

Is this no longer an option as you didn't mention it in your reply?
